   "We need to make preparations." Pepper said softly, her eyes red and puffy after all her crying.

  It's been roughly only one day since the final battle, and everyone was torn. Steve has been the one to carry Tony's body and every few seconds he stopped walking. The way his body shook. . .it was clear to everyone that Steve Rogers was sobbing over his lost teammate and friend.

   "Yeah. . ." Rhodey nodded softly.

  Steve, Millie, Bruce, Scott, Bucky, Stephen, Happy, Sam, Thor, Peter, Wanda, Clint, Natasha, Dean, Sammy, T'Challa, Shuri, Okoye, and the Guardins (minus Gamora) were all in the Stark's household.

  God, when they got home Morgan ran towards her mom asking for her daddy. Little Morgan's reaction broke everyone's heart. She only stared at her mom blankly after Pepper and Rhodey had broken the news about her daddy going up to heaven to visit her grandparents.
   "Daddy?" She said softly. "No more daddy?"
She had tears brimming in her eyes.
   "No, sweetie. . ."
  That's where Morgan bursts into tears. 
   "I want daddy! I didn't want daddy to leave!"

   "Something simple. Only friends and teammates are allowed."

   "We'll have to keep all this silent." said Millie. "One word spoken and we'll have all media in the funeral firing you with questions."

  Pepper nodded, "Yeah. . ."

   "I'll– I'll be back." with that being said, Steve stood up and walked off with no other word being said.

  The rest heard the motor of his bike and watched through the windows as he drove off.

—— Somewhere miles away from HQ ——

   "Jeez, I better be doing this right." Steve mutter under his breath. He had stolen a random book he saw in the Impala and now here he was. Well, it wasn't exactly random. Millie and Jack had explained to him what it was.

"Who's summoning me?" He heard a feminine voice.

He turned around to see a dark-haired woman with her arms crossed.

"Uh. . ."

"Woah! Not once had I imagined that Steven Rogers will be summoning a crossroad demon." She said, a smirk plastered on her face.

"You know who I am?" He said.

"Hon, we all know who you are."

"I was told you could. . .grant what I want."
She nodded, "Yes sir. . .with a deal."

"Can you bring my friend back?" He questioned her.

"Ugh. Let me guess: your friend died, you're grieving terribly and now you want to wish him back to life." She rolled her eyes.

"You got it right."

She sighed, "What's s your friend's name?"

"Tony Stark."

"Oh! Him. Alright, here's the deal, Rogers–"

Steve gave her a nod to continue.

"I bring him back. . .but you get only two days to live."
